The person who met us at the front desk was very friendly and had very good english! The rooms are small with a shared bathroom. They also had a nice downstairs to prepare food and some tables to eat at. Overall I would highly recommend staying here if you want somewhere simple and easy while you explore Seoul.

The guesthouse is quite messy with things placed all over. The facilities and furnishing are quite run down. There’s a washer but no dryer. Very limited drying area.
But the location is great as it’s near to Hongdae Shopping Street with lots of shopping, cafes and eateries. As it is also near to Hongik University Station, it’s rather easy to get to major tourist attractions, other shopping streets and places of interest.

CLEAN AND NICE GUESTHOUSE IN HONGDAE AREA

I been stayed in this guesthouse for 5 nights and it was a great experience, the owner and staff is very helpful and friendly. The bed and room is clean. By the way, it was a sharing bathroom and toilet but it great maintain and clean! There have supply the small tower for the guest.
The location is great, easy access to AREX train and subway. The police station is very nearby of the guesthouse so it is secure. Many restaurant and cafe nearby no worry you can't find the food, the worries is you can't pick what to eat.

The location is great. The kitchen is very disorganized, it’s very difficult to find anything. The shared bathrooms are bad, there is nowhere to put anything and there aren’t real doors. The provided towels are tiny. The hostel has a lot of potential due to the location but sadly it’s not realized.

Ett trevligt och enkelt ställe

Ett mycket trevligt hostel med många internationella gäster. För priset så är det vad man kan förvänta sig av ett hostel och har inget att anmärka på. Det är lite slitet, men det är mer en sidnotering än något som faktiskt påverkar. Området är toppen på alla sätt och närhet till mycket på promenadavstånd. Personal var väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam.

대체로 만족스러웠고 또 가고 싶어요.

공용공간이나 자유롭게 생활하는 분위기가 좋았습니다. 다음에 또 오고 싶어요. 역과 다소 멀지 않아서 좋았고 연남파출소 앞이라 조용한 동네에 위치해있어요. 직원분들은 친절을 넘어 매우 친절하게 대해주셨고 여행 숙소에 적합했다고 느껴요. 다만 도미토리방안은 공기청정기가 필요해보여요. 환기가 안되고 공기가 답답답했습니다.

シャンプーとかないです!

快適でした。ベットにカーテンと2口コンセント、鍵つきボックス❓ありです。まだ珍しく2段ベッド風なってますが、階段がいつもの登りにくいやつではなく、ちゃんと階段なっていてここは上でも楽でした。洗濯機も使い方悩みましたが、無料なんで助かりました。

ただシャンプーとかないので、そこら辺は必須です。誰かの置きっ放しなのがありましたが、よくわからず。タオルは使いたい放題、深夜シャワー、ドライヤーも場所は限られますがOKみたいなんで、飲んだ後に帰っても浴びれるのは嬉しかったです。

利便性のよいゲストハウス

旅行中、1泊だけ女性ドミトリーにお世話になりました。
荷物に気付くとパッと持ってくれたり、設備についてこちらがわかりやすいように一生懸命説明してくれたりして、スタッフさんにはとても好感を持ちました。
シャワー室は、日本人にとっては少し設備不足に感じるところもあるかもしれませんので、準備はきちんとしていった方がよいと思います。が、水温や水圧はじゅうぶんで、タオルも惜しみなく使えます。替えの衣類が濡れないようにすることと、共用のシャンプーやリンスが残り少ないことなどがあるので、その類は持って行った方が無難です。歯磨きグッズは必携です。
電源は各ベッドスペースの壁際にありますが、組み立て式の変換プラグだと接触が悪くなるかもしれません。組み立て式ではない変換プラグ+USBへの変換機+コードが50cmくらいはあるUSBハブがあると充電にはよいと思います。
ベッド(私は2段ベッドの下段でした)の下に鍵付きの荷物入れがあるので、スーツケースの置き場所には困りません^^
日本の漫画が蔵書としてたくさんありますので、ひまがあっても楽しめそうです~。

ホンデイック駅の3番出口から道順はわかりやすく、方向的にオシャレスポット近辺なわりに騒がしくないエリアに入ったところなので、楽しく過ごせると思います!もちろん食べ物には困りません。

大満足でした!ひとりの時にはまたお世話になります!ありがとうございました。
